For E1479 and E3480, gingival hypertrophy appeared as a symptom and not as a site of extramedullary disease; shown is the number of patients with symptoms present. For other studies in particular, comments were reviewed to elicit details about extramedullary disease coded as other; these were recoded in the appropriate category where possible.
